Oak: I challenge you also not to explain the reasoning behind your choices. Try to put that into the card as best you can. If you really want to, you can make a card for both versions. You can make a new card if you feel differently than last time you took the Personality Quiz. Pokémon can be different between versions and later iterations. These are guidelines, you can bend them to be more expressive and capture you more accurately.
